"Time is the fire we all burn in" It awaits for no Child, Man or Woman. We have a very small window to get goals done in that very short time line.
My projects are moving on, but the logistics on the ground in Uganda can be very challenging. Airfare etc can slow down projects in Africa. But the modern batiks art workshops projects are doing very well as a number of my train the trainer students have set up their own websites and are teaching the technique in the community during summer camp workshops and seniors organizations around Ontario.
This year, l plan to set up the 1st art department @ the Uganda Deaf school for the hearing impaired students. This is very key to their lifehood when they leave school and can create fabric products to sale back into the market place.

Henry Michael Lutalo Lumu whom we popularly knew as Henry Lumu was a very pleasant guy to be with.I had the honor of first meeting him at King's college Budo where i went to for secondary & higher studies in 1957 to 1962.We pleasantly interacted in the Art room where we very regularly did painting.He was three(3) years ahead of me,he was very talented naturally and helpful to us as his fellow students,he excelled in painting human & animal compositions.
The very large Landscape Mural he painted with other students of the school gallery & steps leading to the first floor of the Big School Budo left indelible memories for very many years to come_in fact hitherto.
I had pleasure in meeting him again at the Margret Trowel School of Art at the University College of Makerere East Africa.We worked together always comparing notice & participating in group shows & competitions.He won many prizes which inspired us greatly,as we worked hard to also win prizes,following him suit.
He worked at the Uganda Television Broadcasting Services Artist and later in a graphic art establishment in Kampala whose name i have forgotten and continued to execute private commissions for corporates & individuals.
Some years later in the 70's he relocated to Nairobi Kenya,where with his younger brother David Kibuuka made very great impact in general,in Batik Art Painting,& Original painting in general greatly influencing artists in East Africa.
He was a very good hearted being without selfishness.Admirable instincts like abundant generosity to others typical of the young brother David Kibuuka,now the torch bearer of the "Lumu Kibuuka" Art Legacy and influence to Uganda,Kenya,Tanzania & the entire World.

In 2008 I was in Uganda visiting and trying to dig into Henry's background at Buddo. While chatting, I asked Mr Wasswa David Katongole about Henry's times at The Kings College Buddo. Wasswa who is an artist himself and who went to school with Henry during that time line said. You could see the blows and pushing taking place at the studio window during break time as students wanted to take a peek at Henry painting in the art studio. Wasswa was one of those students trying to take a look at the young master at work even at that very young age. I will ask Mr Katongole the next time I see him to tell us more about that. In this photo, Henry has just won the Esso calendar painting competition that the Esso company in Uganda used to hold during the 60s. By this time, Henry was the artistic director of Uganda television.

The young Henry in his mid 20s was sent to England soon after graduating from Makerere school of fine arts ( Uganda- Kampala ) to study television production as artistic director. After 2 years in England, he returned to head that production department as the 1st artistic director in Ugandan televison history. |
